Dark Sky Leaning

Oil on board, diptych

1800 x 1200mm

The title '' is inspired by a Hone Tuwhare poem. In A Fall of Rain at Mitimiti, Tuwhare describes the 'Black Sky Leaning', a phrase which evokes the looming, almost ominous, dark trees of winter in the bush of our wildest places. Vestiges of human control remain but the hope and resilience of nature is ascendant.
